Reports of a Hamilton deal are overblown, Rangers GM Jon Daniels told reporters including Jeff Wilson. Daniels has not met with the Hamilton camp at the Meetings, though he could tonight.

The Mariners still seem to believe they have a chance to sign Hamilton, tweets Danny Knobler of CBSSports.com.

Hamilton has told the Rangers he'll come back to them for a final offer before he accepts a deal from another team, Ron Washington tells Bob Nightengale of USA Today (Twitter link).

The Rangers and free agent slugger Josh Hamilton are making progress on what would likely be a four-year deal, tweets Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports. However, it is still possible another team beats the Rangers' offer.
